As soon as the emperor said this, Wang Yue and the Concubine Gaoli couldn't help but become nervous. They were worried that Jinze's dazzling performance would make the emperor value Yang Peng too much, making him unable to be used by them! But under the current circumstances, there is no point in worrying.
"I will confer you the title of General Xiaowei of the fourth rank of our Daliao Kingdom."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" At this time, hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians cheered together.
That night, the emperor held a banquet in the main hall to entertain the twenty best warriors at the warriors meeting. The emperor sat at the top, accompanied by the charming Goryeo imperial concubine sitting on the side. On the left rows of seats sat the civil and military officials of the Jin Kingdom, the emperor and relatives, and on the right rows of seats sat the twenty or so warriors.
After drinking for three rounds, the emperor couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "I am very happy today! After Yeqian Hucheng, our country of Liao finally has another unparalleled brave general! If you two go into battle at the same time, you will not be afraid of Yang Peng. !" Yang Peng felt a little weird when he heard the Emperor of Jin mention his name, while Ye Qi Guanyin on the opposite side frowned.
Ye Qi Hucheng sighed: "I have followed my father and brother on the battlefield since I was a child, and I have never obeyed anyone! Only this Yang Peng, I have to admire!" Wang Yue asked curiously: "Is that Yang Peng actually better than others? How much more powerful is the Khitan's number one warrior?" Yeli Hucheng burst into laughter. Concubine Gaoli scolded: "Little brother, don't talk nonsense! How can Yang Peng be compared with Tiger City!"
Ye Qian Hucheng waved his hand, "Your Majesty, you are so flattering! That Yang Peng is indeed better than me! I was defeated by him once, everyone should know it!"
Wang Yue said in disbelief: "Could it be true that the rumors about the martial arts competition in the Shenxiao Wanshou Palace are true?" Yeli Hucheng nodded, with a look of memories on his rough face, "Then ****, little sister and Xiu Brother, challenge the generals of the Song State in front of countless subjects of the Song State! Huh, all the generals in the dynasty were vulnerable until Yang Peng appeared. Yang Peng, in terms of force, he is actually just between me and me. But this man’s aura is extremely amazing! If a fierce general is compared to a tiger, then he is the Tiger King! The Tiger King is so majestic that he can swallow up mountains and rivers! At that time, I was caught by his aura and lost half of his moves!..."
"Fifth brother, don't talk about the past!" The emperor frowned. Ye Qi Hucheng laughed boldly, "There is nothing that cannot be said! Victory is victory, defeat is defeat! Although King Yan is our sworn enemy, he is also the person I, Ye Qi Hucheng, admire the most in my life!" Ye Qi Guanyin nodded, "Yes! Although he is a life-and-death enemy, he is also an unparalleled hero! Being able to fight against such an enemy on the battlefield in this life is not in vain!" When everyone heard Ye Qi Guanyin's words, they couldn't help but In awe of her.
Ye Qi Hucheng picked up the wine bowl and said loudly: "Come, let's drink to our sworn enemy!" Everyone raised their glasses and drank a bowl of wine with Ye Qi Hucheng. Yang Peng couldn't help but sigh with emotion, unable to describe what he felt.
After everyone put down their wine bowls, Ye Qian Longxu raised his voice and said: "Come on in singing and dancing!" Then the melodious music sounded, and at the same time, dozens of graceful dancers flew in like colorful butterflies and danced gracefully. Everyone was enjoying the singing and dancing, drinking and chatting, and the guests and hosts had a great time. Ye Qi Guanyin's eyes passed through the figures of the dancers and fell on Yang Peng, with a look of thoughtfulness in her eyes.
Yang Peng was drinking and chatting with the few warriors next to him, while paying attention to the situation on the emperor's side. Seeing the Concubine Goryeo next to the emperor holding an empty wine bottle and going down, she immediately stood up, clasped her fists at the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, the general is in a hurry and wants to go to the toilet!" Everyone laughed, and the emperor called a eunuch and ordered: "Take General Xiaowei to use the toilet!" the eunuch responded, and came over to lead Yang Peng out of the side door. The bright lights replaced the bright night sky, and the noisy atmosphere suddenly seemed to have gone away.
Yang Peng immediately searched with his eyes for the Concubine Gaoli who had just left, and saw Concubine Gao Li carrying an empty wine bottle and walking toward the back along the corridor.
The eunuch said to Yang Peng: "General, please come with your servant." Yang Peng smiled and clasped his fists and said: "I really don't dare to trouble my father-in-law. Please tell me where the toilet is and I can go there myself!" The eunuch was also happy and raised his finger to point. Behind a clump of woods ahead, "There is a big wooden house behind the woods, and that's the toilet." Yang Peng nodded, "Thank you, father-in-law." The eunuch nodded slightly, turned around and went back.
Yang Peng quickly walked towards the toilet. When he got there, he stood in the shadow under the tree waiting for the return of Princess Goryeo. After a while, the imperial concubine of Goryeo was seen walking along the corridor from the far right side, holding a wine bottle. Yang Peng walked up the corridor and faced him. When he met the Concubine of Goryeo, he hurriedly bowed: "General, I will pay my respects to the Concubine!" The Concubine of Goryeo did not expect to meet Yang Peng here, and couldn't help being surprised. "General, there is no need to be polite!" Yang Peng stood up.
The Concubine of Gaoli looked at Yang Peng with burning eyes, "Why did the general come here?" Yang Peng said sheepishly: "I just came out to use the toilet, but after coming out of the toilet, I couldn't tell the difference between east, west and north!"
Concubine Goryeo pursed her lips and smiled, put the wine bottle in her right hand, raised her delicate left hand to indicate the location of the main hall, "The main hall is behind the general!" Yang Peng looked back, clasped his fists and thanked: "Thank you for your guidance!" Then he said: "Let me help you get the wine pot!" Concubine Gaoli looked at Yang Peng, with something strange in her eyes, which was very charming. "Since the general wants to do the work for you, I really want it!"
Yang Peng was secretly happy and reached out to pick up the wine pot. He accidentally touched the jade finger of the noble concubine of Goryeo and took the wine bottle. The noble concubine of Goryeo said angrily: "The general is very dishonest!" Yang Peng said to himself: "What is this situation?" Could it be that you are trying to seduce me?
Yang Peng pretended to be confused. The noble concubine of Gaoli said angrily: "Let's go quickly! Don't keep your majesty waiting!" Then she passed Yang Peng and walked towards the main hall. I don't know whether she did it intentionally or not, but when she passed by Yang Peng, Xiang Jian gently touched Yang Peng's arm. Although Yang Peng didn't have any thoughts, he couldn't help but feel his heart wandering.
Yang Peng came to his senses and quickly chased after him with the wine bottle in hand. Seeing that the Concubine of Goryeo was not paying attention to her at all, she quickly took out a packet of medicine from her sleeve, opened the bottle cap, and poured the medicine powder into the wine flask. Then close the lid and put away the medicine paper. Just after doing this, the Concubine Gaoli who was walking in front suddenly stopped and turned around to look at Yang Peng. Yang Peng also stopped. Because of what he had just done, Yang Peng couldn't help but feel that the other party had discovered something.
Concubine Gao Li asked with a smile: "I heard that the general has an ugly wife?" Yang Peng felt puzzled, so he followed Concubine Gao Li's words and sighed: "Ugly, she is a little ugly, but she treats me well!" Concubine Gao Li left. Taking a step forward, the towering twin peaks were almost touching Yang Peng's arms! Concubine Goryeo's face showed a very charming color, and she smiled and said: "Actually, with the general's ability, what kind of woman do you want?"
When Yang Peng saw that the other party seemed to be intending to seduce him, he couldn't help but fall into his old habit and said with a smile: "If you can find a woman like the imperial concubine, it would be great!" The imperial concubine of Goryeo glared charmingly with a red face. He glanced at Yang Peng, turned around beautifully and walked towards the palace. Yang Peng stood there in a daze, secretly exclaiming: This woman is really seducing me! ?
Concubine Gaoli took a few steps, turned back and said angrily: "What are you still doing? Come on!" Yang Peng turned around and quickly chased after her. At this moment, Yang Peng suddenly saw a person standing in the pavilion on the right looking over from the corner of his eye. It was Ye Qi Guanyin! Yang Peng was startled and said to himself: When did she come? Did you see me pouring medicine into the wine bottle?
The thought of killing someone and silencing them couldn't help but come to mind. Wanyan Qingfeng walked around in front of the two of them. The two of them stopped, and Concubine Gaoli asked with a surprised smile: "Why is the eldest princess here?"
Ye Qi Guanyin smiled coldly, "Why are you so nervous?" She glanced at Yang Peng, who was standing behind Concubine Gaoli, holding a wine flask, and said meaningfully: "Is there something that you are afraid of letting me see?" Gao Li The imperial concubine was a little uneasy and a little angry, her face turned red. Yang Peng couldn't figure out what Ye Qi Guanyin meant by saying this. Did he refer to the matter of drugging him or the matter of teasing him with the noble concubine of Goryeo? Looking around, he saw that the guards were all far away and no one was paying attention, so he couldn't help but feel murderous intent. However, what Ye Qi Guanyin said below dispelled his thoughts. "Please bring the drinks back to serve Your Majesty. I have something to discuss with General Xiaowei."
Concubine Gaoli turned around to take the wine bottle from Yang Peng's hand, deliberately squeezed Yang Peng's palm, and gave Yang Peng a wink. Yang Peng's expression didn't change, he just pretended not to see it. The noble concubine of Goryeo held a wine flask and walked past Ye Guanyin, then returned to the main hall first.
Ye Qi Guanyin walked up to Yang Peng and smiled coldly, "You are so courageous, you actually dare to molest His Majesty's concubine!"
"Well, I don't know what the princess is talking about!" "Humph! Stop pretending to be in front of me!" He turned around and glanced at the graceful and attractive back of Concubine Goryeo, then turned to Yang Peng and said: "The concubine is indeed a beauty of her generation! But... It’s not something you can get involved in! If you want to build a career, you’d better give up these delusions as soon as possible!”
Yang Peng could only pretend to clasp his fists and say, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your teaching!" Yedi Guanyin stared at Yang Peng, "Although you say so, you don't take it seriously in your heart! You are very proud, just like that person!" There was a bit of anger in Ye Qi Guanyin's words.
Yang Peng asked curiously: "I wonder who the princess is talking about?" "You don't need to know this!" He looked at Yang Peng and said, "I heard that you are not the follower of the little prince Wang Yue, but you just met them by chance. Just traveling together?" Yang Peng nodded, "Yes, we met in Baozhou." "In other words, you didn't know the little prince and the noble concubine of Goryeo before that?" "Well, before that. I have been studying art in the Central Plains. To be honest, I was once a member of the Mingjiao in the Central Plains."
Ye Qi Guanyin was not surprised at all after hearing Yang Peng's answer. Yang Peng thought to himself: It seems that she has already investigated me, otherwise she would be at least a little moved after hearing the information I told her. Where did she get this information? It must be from the Koreans. It seems that she has an insider among the Korean people. Haha, it seems that the Jin people do not trust the Korean people!
"Since you grew up in the Central Plains, you must not have too many feelings about Goryeo?" Yang Peng said in a daze: "It's just that in my memory, it was the place where I was born. Other than that, I don't have much feelings about it!"
Ye Qi Guanyin nodded, "That's good! You are now the general of the Great Liao Kingdom. I hope you will keep this in mind at all times. Your glory, wealth, and high official status are all given to you by the Liao Kingdom. You You can only be loyal to the Liao Kingdom! No matter who tries to win over you, you must keep a clear mind!" Yang Peng solemnly clasped his fists and said, "The general will naturally understand this! The general can only be loyal to the Liao Kingdom, please rest assured, princess! "
Yedi Guanyin looked at Yang Peng with a confused look in her eyes, "You really look like that person!" Yang Peng asked in confusion: "Who is the princess talking about?" Yedi Guanyin withdrew her gaze and looked into the distance. , the whole person seemed to be immersed in a memory. Chen Xiao felt very surprised and called out softly: "Princess..." Ye Qi Guanyin came back to her senses and said, "Okay, it's okay. If you can remember what I said to you, you will benefit a lot! You He is a rare tiger general in the world. As long as he serves the court wholeheartedly, it is conceivable that he will be rich, wealthy, and have a wife and a wife!" "Yes!" "You go back to the main hall, I have to go to the back for a walk." Yang Peng responded and left. went.
Ye Qi Guanyin looked at Yang Peng's back, with a dazed and confused expression in her beautiful eyes. He looked away, shook his head in annoyance, turned around and walked back. Yang Peng returned to the main hall. The emperor smiled and said, "Could it be that General Xiaowei has been hiding from drinking since he has been here for a long time?" Many people booed; Concubine Gaoli looked at Yang Peng with an indescribable taste in her eyes.
Ye Qian Hucheng said loudly: "It's not that easy to avoid drinking! You have to be fined three bowls!" Everyone started to cheer. Yang Peng said boldly: "Okay! I will punish myself with three large bowls of wine!" Then he poured himself and drank three large bowls of wine. Everyone applauded, and Ye Qian Hucheng laughed and said: "He is indeed a brave and good man, just like us Khitan people!" Then he cupped his fists towards the emperor and said: "Your Majesty, please send Jin Ze to my command. With Jin Ze's help, Our army will definitely defeat Yang Peng and defeat Yan Yun’s army!”
Concubine Goryeo was a little anxious. She was worried that once Kanazawa was sent to the Central Plains, she would not be able to use her in a short time. However, it was inconvenient for her to say anything on such an occasion. The emperor smiled and said: "I want to keep Jinze by my side, so don't come and fight with me in Hucheng!" Yedi Hucheng was very disappointed, but Concubine Goryeo breathed a sigh of relief.
Yang Peng picked up the wine bowl and said to Ye Qi Hucheng and the emperor: "Thank you, general, for your majesty's regard for the general! I respect you, the general!" Then he raised his head and drained the bowl of wine. Ye Qian Hucheng laughed loudly and picked up the wine bowl to drink. The noble concubine of Goryeo held the wine pot and poured a bowl of clear wine into the emperor's golden bowl. The emperor raised his head and drank the wine in one gulp.
At this time, a civil servant stood up with a wine bowl and said loudly: "I propose that all colleagues wish your Majesty a long life without borders!" Everyone stood up with wine bowls and said together: "I wish your Majesty a long life with no borders!" Wang Yue added on her own: "I wish the Liao Empire will unite the world!" Everyone couldn't help but follow: "I wish the Liao Empire will unite the world!" The emperor was very happy, "Okay, okay, I am very touched by your sincerity. !" At this time, the noble concubine of Goryeo filled the emperor's glass with wine again, and the emperor picked up the wine bowl and drank it. Everyone also drank the wine from the bowl together, and the emperor and his ministers were all happy for a while.
The banquet continued. Yang Peng was eating and drinking while chatting with the warriors next to him, his eyes glancing at the emperor from time to time. The emperor was in high spirits and would drink with the civil and military ministers who came to toast him from time to time. Chen Xiao was secretly happy. ...The wine stall was lit, the emperor had left the hall, and everyone was leaving one after another. The noisy hall gradually became quiet, and the palace maids and eunuchs entered the hall to clean up the mess.
Yang Peng and Yeqi Guanyin of Yeqi Hucheng walked and chatted out of the palace, got on their mounts, and walked forward together while chatting. Yang Peng's so-called senior brothers and the bodyguards of Yeqi Guanyin in Yeqi Hucheng were accompanying him.
After a while, a shout suddenly came from behind: "Brother, wait for me!" Everyone stopped, looked back, and saw Wang Yue leading several followers to catch up from behind. Wang Yue caught up with the three men and quickly bowed to Yeqi Hucheng and Yeqi Guanyin, saying, "Xiao Wang has seen these two generals!" The two of them smiled. Wang Yue then smiled and said to Yang Peng: "I almost missed my eldest brother!" Yang Peng said with a smile: "I thought I would stay in the palace!" Wang Yue said with a smile: "Originally I wanted to stay, but my sister wanted to Take care of Your Majesty, I was too much of a hindrance there, so I left."
Ye Qianhu said: "Let's talk while walking." Everyone started walking again. Yeqi Hucheng and Yeqi Guanyin were talking, but neither of them had any intention of talking to Wang Yue. Wang Yue seemed to know that the two kings did not like him very much, so he did not strike up a conversation and only chatted with Yang Peng.
Unconsciously, everyone came to a crossroads. Yeqihu City said to Yeqi Guanyin and Yang Peng: "Little sister, Brother Jin, it's easy for you to go!" The two said: "Brother (my king, it's good to go!") Yeqihu City then led his bodyguards to the west. The street went away, and others turned into the east street.
After walking for a while, Wang Yue couldn't help but said: "It's so quiet here!" No wonder he had such emotion. Although it was very late now, there were always one or two pedestrians on other streets, but there was not a ghost here. It happened that dark clouds covered the bright moon, making the street even darker and quieter. The torches of their group only illuminated a small area around them, and a thick darkness enveloped them. A gust of wind blew, causing the flames of the torches to move wildly, and shadows flying around, as if a group of demons were dancing wildly!
Wang Yue continued to walk forward. Yang Peng shouted: "Come back!" Wang Yue quickly reined in his horse, turned around and asked in confusion: "What's wrong?" Yang Peng stared at the darkness around him, frowned slightly and said: "Something's not right!" Yeqi Guanyin next to her also had the same expression. Wang Yue also realized something, became nervous, and quickly retreated to Chen Xiao's side.
Whoosh! An arrow suddenly flew from the darkness. An officer under Ye Qi Guanyin was unable to avoid it. The arrow penetrated his neck and fell to one side. Almost at the same time, arrows rained down from the roofs on both sides. The escorts and Wang Yue's entourage were hit by the arrows and fell to the ground. Wang Yue fell off his horse to escape; Yang Peng, Ye Qi Guanyin and others waved their weapons to block the flying arrows. arrows.
Um! Ye Qi Guanyin suddenly snorted. Yang Peng quickly turned to look at her and was shocked when he found that an arrow had hit her left arm. At this moment, several more arrows flew towards her. Without thinking, Yang Peng flew in front of her and swung his knife to deflect the arrows flying towards her. Ye Qi Guanyin looked at Yang Peng's back with brilliant eyes.
Yang Peng put the Japanese sword back into its sheath, grabbed the spear from a soldier, and threw it towards the roof next to him. With a whoosh, he heard a scream, and almost at the same time, a black shadow emerged from the Falling off the roof. Yang Peng continued to throw spears, and people fell from the roof one after another.
The killers stopped firing arrows, and only heard a shout. Hundreds of men in black emerged from the darkness on both sides, crashed into the crowd, and killed with their swords. Everyone fought back desperately, and the two sides started a bloody battle on the street. Blood and water flew, roars were mixed with screams, and people on both sides fell into a pool of blood one by one.
The target of the men in black was obviously Ye Qi Guanyin, and the main force rushed towards Ye Qi Guanyin. Although the bodyguards tried their best to resist, they still couldn't resist, and the men in black rushed to Ye Qi Guanyin. Ye Qi Guanyin frowned and was ready to fight. But at this moment, he saw Yang Peng rushing into the middle of the men in black with a spear. The spears were spinning and flying in his hands, killing the men in black and causing them to fall on their backs. They suffered heavy casualties, and it was as if they were in an uninhabited land. Ye Qi Guanyin couldn't help but feel in a trance, as if she had seen that person!
Seeing Yang Peng's ferocity, the people in black were frightened and ran away one after another. Ye Qi Guanyin's bodyguards chased them dozens of meters away and captured several men in black. Yang Peng returned to Ye Qi Guanyin, took a look at Ye Qi Guanyin's wound, and asked: "Are you okay?" Ye Qi Guanyin glanced at the arrow stuck in his arm, and actually pulled out the arrow with one stroke. He came out without changing his face. Yang Peng couldn't help but admire secretly.
Ye Qi Guanyin stared at Yang Peng, with an inexplicable look in her eyes. Yang Peng felt a little uneasy for no reason, "General, what's wrong with you?" Ye Qi Guanyin shook her head. At this time, the sound of rapid footsteps and horse hooves came from the street entrance. Yang Peng and Yeli Guanyin followed the sound and saw countless city defense troops rushing towards them.
The soldiers rushed to the scene and were shocked when they saw the tragic scene of corpses strewn on the ground. The city defense general hurriedly ran to Ye Qi Guanyin and knelt down to apologize: "The end will come soon, the princess was frightened!" Ye Qi Guanyin took out her riding whip and whipped him hard, snap! The whip hit the city defense general's cheek hard, and a horrific blood mark immediately appeared! The city defense general neither dared to say a word nor to cry out in pain! Yang Peng couldn't help but secretly thought: What a hot woman! Almost like little sister Yelu!
Ye Qi Guanyin shouted: "Search for the assassin in the city immediately!" The city defense general quickly agreed, and then stood up and shouted to his soldiers: "Everyone separate and search for the assassin!" The city defense army immediately divided into multiple groups and began to search for the assassin everywhere. The originally silent night became noisy.
Yang Peng and Wang Yue said goodbye to Ye Qi Guanyin, and then more than a dozen people went back to the State Guesthouse. Ye Qi Guanyin looked at Yang Peng's back and led his soldiers back to the princess' mansion.
What happened after all, let’s see what happens next.
